You need an nice little outside welding bench.
Depends if the job is pointing the patio flags. There's stuff all over itShould be great , every thing in plain sight loads of room and it's not snowing or raining

Tbh I'm not happy with the latest cowl. Simply put the other side of the weld looks like a dog's dinner. I'm wondering about remaking it but lapping & bolting through as has was mentioned on the cowl thread. As in no welding.
I think it's more a feeling of I could have done it better if I was better set up.
I can't even find the M6 stainless nuts and bolts I need to put it together or my plastic profile gauge to get the shape of the pot rim to make the legs.
That's where I am with everything at the moment. I have most of what I need to do most jobs. I'm ending up buying stuff again like the mig wire as I can't find what I've already got.
Of course today rain will stop playing in terms of cutting more stainless sheet for the cowl legs.
To cap it all (pun intended), the scaffold on the house will likely come down before I can use it to gain access to fit the cowl.
Feels like I'm dwelling on the negatives all the time.
Another example, half a plan to lay some carpet tiles today, can't even find the two packs of Stanley blades I've seen but have moved/can't remember where.
Little things seem to take on a life of their own and grow.

Not that it helps one bit but you are not alone. I can put something down, not move anywhere and still take minutes to find it again. Incredible and frustrating!

Here's another "dilemma".....SWMBO.
She constantly complains about my "tools" being everywhere. That's mainly in the boiler room. Don't get me wrong, that's fair enough.
My working space, if you can call it that, is the patio area just outside the back door. Stuff naturally gravitates to the nearest dry space after working. Periodically she'll bag stuff up in a random carrier bag. Then when I've "lost it" it's because I never put anything away!
When her plants die it's because she couldn't get to the window sill to water them.
If I had a decent workshop space shed never see me and have nothing to moan about.
I am a sod for buying stuff on a whim. There's two, maybe 3 Parkside 20V nibblers in there somewhere, maybe 2 hot air guns, again, 20V Parkside. Lots of unfinished project stuff to, gate gear, solar thermal etc.
To be honest all that was supposed to be there originally was a bfo, barely liftable empty let alone full, locked site box.

I can't work on the floor...does my knees and back in.
McAllister do a great collapsible table...that's what I use when I'm outside or on location.
I also have a loft and garage that needs sorting. Yesterday I spend an hour just looking for my multimeter...never found it...and I know I have 2 of them!

Do you have or are you likely to have a trampoline?
Skip.

Two trampolines actually. Oddly the 27 & 19 year olds don't use them much now.....
These clips and springs are off the original 10' one, all dismantled. The frame is here too if anyone wants it?
Plan was to do it up and give to a neighbour's kids but think they have one now and are loaded anyway. Then there's the 15/20' one. Still up, took a knock during a storm when a swinging garden chair took off and clouted it so a couple of poles are bent. The blue thing that covers the springs has disintegrated and been binned. Mainly I just mow around it now. Probably needs a new net and foam pole covers too.
Skip them all. Why are you keeping any of them? Sentimental reasons? Can't be arsed to get rid?Two trampolines actually. Oddly the 27 & 19 year olds don't use them much now.....

Even if your grown up kids gave you grandchildren today it'll still be another 2 or 3 years before they start trampolining. By which time mowing round a rotten trampoline and constantly falling over a box of springs and an old frame will have got you even more depressed.
Appologies if that comes over as harsh.
